Why does FreeRepublic's website look so ugly?

Is it to match the appearance of their posters? hehe.

3. I know it looks like a web-design from 1996

I can't even go there to lurk. I'll leave the trolling up to the pros.

9. Same feeling here

I can't even go there to find out what they are saying. Amazingly the appearance hurts my eyes before the content does.

13. The set up is just so lame and outdated...

Not like DU, which is so easy to navagate, with lost of useful features such as "My Posts" "My Forums".

6. No, because everything republicans do is half-assed and trite...

Look at No Child Left Behind or the Iraq War...

Ahhh, the list goes on and on.

Perhaps the Freepers like looking pathetic...it makes them feel like the victims they're always whining they are.

I used to lurk around there, but the people on there are so damn boring it's a waste of time.

7. Web Design is hard work

Don't you know that art thrives in an oppressive atmosphere?

11. I always thought so too

As if it was modeled after Abu Graib.
If fact I think a little razor wire would fancy the site up a bit.

Their lead page still has an article claiming major credit for impeaching a president (With pix!).
